For what it's worth, I upgraded the PF ZEN VMware distribution
from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 yesterday without any problems. The URL
in /etc/yum.repos.d/PacketFence.repo on the ZEN box was slightly
different from the manual:
[PacketFence]
name=PacketFence Repository
baseurl=http://inverse.ca/downloads/PacketFence/RHEL6/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0
Also, I don't know if it was a typo in your e-mail, but the
comma list of repos in your command line has a space before
"epel" in your original posting.
This is the exact line that I used for the update:
yum update --enablerepo=PacketFence,epel,rpmforge,of packetfence
Based on the above, I would think that this line should work
for you:
yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence,epel,rpmforge,of packetfence-complete
As an aside, thank you to whoever contributed the gaming
console registration feature for 3.6.1! It was an unexpected
surprise, and solves one of our biggest pains at the start of
every new semester...

Hello Andrew!
Thanks for the response - yes, all that is set up and pointing to the right
place - I've also tried changing the URL to the very specific directory to see
if that worked better, but no joy...

Hi Nick,
The relevant part of the Administration Guide is:
For RHEL / CentOS:
In order to use the repository, just create a file named
/etc/yum.repos.d/PacketFence.repo withthe following content:
[PacketFence]
name=PacketFence Repository
baseurl=http://inverse.ca/downloads/PacketFence/RHEL$releasever/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0
Do you have that file with that contents?

Subject: [PacketFence-users] Finding the Installer...
I have been round in circles trying to get PacketFence to install, failing each
time at the (almost) final fence: the installation of the package itself.
This is a CentOS 6 system, fully updated, and with all dependencies addressed
so far as I am able at this point.
So far as I can determine from internet resources, I have set up software
repositories correctly, but still, the installation process cannot find the
installer - so either it has been moved, or there is some distant corner of the
galaxy that this system is still not finding. The server is behind firewalls
etc, but I'm not clear why that should be a problem given that I have managed
to find and install everything else.
[also, I have tried different capitalisation of the installer: Packetfence,
packetfence, PacketFence... it is reported differently on various web resources]
Using the command in the following form, with system response:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# yum groupinstall --enablerepo=PacketFence.repo, epel,rpmforge,of
Packetfence-complete
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security

* rpmforge: www.mirrorservice.org<http://www.mirrorservice.org>
* updates: mirror01.th.ifl.net
of

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please advise - how are the repositories supposed to be defined, and in what
files would you expect them to be defined? There's clearly something missing
still....
Thank you,
Nick
